AI Article Synopsis

  • A new method has been developed to synthesize a novel type of near-infrared β-thiophene-fused BF2-azadipyrromethenes (aza-BDTPs).
  • These compounds display strong absorption and fluorescence at approximately 800 nm, indicating their efficiency in near-infrared applications.
  • The aza-BDTPs are highly photostable, with a significant absorption coefficient and minimal absorption in the visible light spectrum (700 to 380 nm).

Article Abstract

A facile synthetic route to a new class of near-IR β-thiophene-fused BF2-azadipyrromethenes (aza-BDTPs) is presented. Sharp absorption and fluorescence emission bands at around 800 nm were observed for these highly photostable aza-BDTPs, with a large absorption coefficient and very low absorptions in the visible range from 700 to 380 nm.

Novel aza-BODIPYs with significant bathochromic shifts were designed and synthesized by installation of strong electron-withdrawing groups on the para-positions of 1,7-phenyls and electron-donating groups on the para-positions of 3,4-phenyls. These dyes show strong NIR fluorescence emissions up to 756 nm, and absorptions up to 720 nm.

BF(2)-Azadipyrromethene dyes are a promising class of NIR emitter (nonhalogenated) and photosensitizer (halogenated). Spectroscopic studies on a benchmark example of each type, including absorption (one and two photon), time-resolved transient absorption (ps-ms) and fluorescence, are reported. Fast photodynamics reveal that intense nanosecond NIR fluorescence is quenched in a brominated analog, giving rise to a persistent (21 μs) transient absorption signature.

A series of dendritic systems, which are capable of funneling energy from the periphery to the core, have been synthesized. The photophysical properties of the dendrimers, generations 0-2, have been determined. The light-harvesting ability of these compounds increases with increasing generation arising from the increase in molar extinction coefficient.

[reaction: see text] The synthesis and sensing characteristics of a new class of organic colorimetric and fluorometric chemosensor which operates in the 850-650 nm spectral region is outlined. Judicious placing of amine substituents on the BF2-chelated tetraarylazadipyrromethene chromophore generates a triple absorption and emission responsive sensor. Dramatic pH responsive absorption and fluorescence changes can be observed across a broad acidity range, from pH 5 to 6 M HCl, in conjunction with a visible colorimetric change from red to purple to blue.
